guy Posted October 14, 2025 Report Share Posted October 14, 2025 (edited) Although not as well known as other cities like Pompeii and Herculaneum that were destroyed by Vesuvius in AD 79, the city of Stabiae was able to recover somewhat soon after the eruption. The Villa of San Marco in Stabiae was covered in ash, however, and has been well preserved (see video below). Stabiae, shown below, was impacted by Vesuvius in AD 79.

caesar novus Posted October 14, 2025 Report Share Posted October 14, 2025 (edited) I had that video along with his others on my watch later list. I like the paintings (esp maritime) and grand scale of the place (dwarfing anything in Herculaneum). I think access is hard without a vehicle; the Napoli-Sorrento train kind of runs under it in series of tunnels. It looked like the host bicycled to it, judging from anti-chain-snag clips on pants cuff. Edited October 14, 2025 by caesar novus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
